Jim Akins says his Chetak is
"running great and looking good".
Chrome on black always looks
good. With the whitewalls and split seats
a very nice classic look is achieved.

Ronnie
Bautista's 03 Chetak has chromed side cowls
and chromed front fender. Zippy tires
and a Piaggio nose round out the
modifications. |

Biotech Pest Control
uses a sidecar (that's
crawling with ants) attached to their Bajaj
Legend to effectively advertise their
bug-reduction business. |

Here's Michael
Lawless getting his "custom"
daughter acquainted with his custom
Legend.
Michael says he
doing his best to get the next
generation involved in scootering.
At 3 months old,
Olivia has already made it known
that she's ready to ride.

Chris Lundstrom
has modified his Chetak in the "Mod"
fashion. Not many things can
sneak up behind him with that view
of the rear. Chris, those
mirrors look a little like an
airfoil. I wonder if you
tilted all of them just right.... |

"I've had 10,000 miles of fun
and great new friends and am
looking forward to many years of
dependable riding to come.
(this scooter) has been one of
the most pleasurable purchases
I've ever made!"

Michael
Mortimer parked his two-tone
Chetak in front of the pet
cemetery at the Presidio in
San Francisco for this
picture.
San
Francisco, with its hills,
parks and many diverse
ethnic enclaves is a great
place to explore on a
scooter. |

Jack Marquis
started out flaming his
helmet, he liked it so much

I had my engineer friends
weld up a custom steel
trailer and hitch ball
bracket to 5 solid mounting
points on the rear of the
Legend, and it pulls the
nifty little trailer almost
effortlessly. The heavy duty metal construction,
powerful engine and real gears instead of the usual slip prone drive
belt make this the perfect "Sport Utility" vehicle for my
Beachside lifestyle. Damien Esmond |

Mark Denoncourt's '03 Chetak looks very retro indeed.
Love those moon hubcaps. |

Chetak. I flashed back to car hops on roller skates and food trays
hanging off the side window when I saw this. |
